Renovating and repurposing the courthouse would start at $16 million, which is too costly for the County, says Terry.

Demolition would cost about $1.5 million.

Terry says he is confident the board will vote to tear down the courthouse in April.

“If there is a component of the board who chooses not to move forward next month, they have the plan before them. Everything that we need to move forward is present, everything is in place so I would say that if there is a component that holds us up, it would be incumbent upon them to tell us what direction to take from there," says Terry.
